The Indianapolis Colts are benching former first-round quarterback Anthony Richardson and turning to 39-year-old Joe Flacco, multiple outlets reported Tuesday. On Monday, Colts head coach Shane Steichen was non-committal when asked if Richardson would start in Week 9. "We're evaluating everything," Steichen said as the Colts (4-4) began their preparations for Sunday night's road game against the Minnesota Vikings (5-2). The coaching staff met on Tuesday morning and made the "seismic organizational decision to change QBs," ESPN reported. Richardson completed only 10 of 32 passes (31.3 percent) for 175 yards with one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the host Houston Texans.
